I'm not even seeing combat, I'm seeing delayed action high-school drama performances of what dying and shooting looks like. Forget realism, I just prefer game-play where you can't seriously apply the dialogue 'Argh. I am dead'. It doesn't look 'bad' as it were; I said 'soporific' (meaning it puts you to sleep) not pathetic.rsvp42 said:
I know what soporific means (or rather Google did, I just asked it), so calling the combat sleep-inducing sounds bad. Hence my question. You should have said it looks hokey or affected or something. I'd still disagree (because I'm not seeing any campy death animation or awkward timing), but then I'd be less confused as to what you're getting at.Ultrajoe said:
Anyway, I should probably limit my campaigning for this game to my friends and the official forums.
No, I mean soporific, as in it bores me. The bounty hunter runs into a group of foes. They run up to him and begin beating him up, something he does not react to. They then keep performing their animations as he decides to do a rather robotic flamer spin. The game doesn't look like a fight, it looks very obviously like sprites taking turns farting particle effects. Their transitions are blocky and the 'Deliberately dated' art aesthetic does nothing to hide this fact.rsvp42 said:
As for preaching to the converted over on the official forums, I don't mean to imply an insult, but isn't it better for game development to question and challenge the problems with a game before it goes live?
Does anyone else go, "Oooh, Mass Effect," when that BioWare logo comes on? No? Just me? Hm...
For crying out loud, not all bounty hunters have to look like BOBA FETT!

Oh, believe me, there's plenty of debate and discussion on the forums. People pick apart literally everything. I fully agree that that should happen. But at the same time, it helps to avoid doomsaying and negativity unless it's warranted. It's easy to get bogged down in worry and speculation. Every time a Friday update is small or uninteresting, people start predicting the end of this game, then they flip flop as soon as we get a big update. I just encourage waiting and playing the game before making sweeping judgments of it. Most of the feedback from game testing has been really positive.Ultrajoe said:
Also, I still don't see what you're talking about with the animation. You mean when the sand people run up to him? The camera cuts as soon as they reach him, then he does the flame spin jump. I don't see where "they run up to him and begin beating him up, something he does not react to." One of the main features they've been promoting about combat is how characters don't just stand there and perform animations on each other. They usually demonstrate it with Jedi and lightsaber battles, but it applies to the overall approach to combat animation.
Have you read the Republic Commando books? They do a good job of breaking the mold (still some references, but only a few).Dastardly said:
Instead of every clone being the same, they have personalities, modified weapons, etc. The Mandoalorions are more than just humans and jedi killers, and not all jedi are Luke.
But yeah, the combat looks pretty pathetic, and it looks like the skills are coming down like DCUO did.
You're a sorcerer taught by batman? Have a batarang!
You don't want it?
HAVE A BATARANG. AND A BATCLAW!
All of the hunters have flamethrowers, freezing ray things, and etc. It's not just for one hunter and if you're lucky you may just get a flamethrower. It's a class video, ALL the bounty hunters will have what the hunter in the video has. The armor of course is optional and Mandalorian armor often looks the same. And it's star wars. It started with movies, of course it's gonna have things from the movies in it.Dastardly said:
Each class has an alien.Slaanax said:
Trooper = Zabrak
Smuggler = Twi'lek
Jedi Knight = Miraluka (although thats more human looking anyway)
Inquisiter = I dunno what they are called.
Hunter = The thing Asaaj Ventrus is
Sith Warrior = Sith Pureblood (A human with a nasty sunburn)
Consular = something green
Agent = Chiss
Yeah well not many people speak alien lol. They MAY have some races speak the alien language if you choose it but I doubt it. Most of the aliens will probably speak english. Just imagine a realllyyyy fat Twi'lek with a high pitched british accent. I would play just to see that.Slaanax said:
ehhh
subscriptions suck.
I want to play this game... but I can't afford a subscription.
though I'm talking like this would even run on my laptop, which can only just manage half life 2.
